A Slateo board from the Product & Engineering template: roadmap items moving through Idea, Evaluating, Planned and Shipped, with workstreams for feature development, sprints, bugs and releases.

What is in the Product & Engineering template?

Last updated:

The Product & Engineering template creates a project with 5 workstreams: Product Roadmap, Feature Development, Sprint Planning, Bug Tracking and Releases. Each workstream has its own stages: Product Roadmap, for example, runs Idea → Evaluating → Planned → Shipped. Built for product and engineering teams, and every stage can be renamed, removed or given rules once you're in.

Make it yours

Change any stage once you are in

Rename a stage, add a new one, or change its type. Add entry conditions, like a due date before review, and require an approval before work moves into a stage.

Set up stages, rules and approvals →
Edit Stage in Slateo: stage name, stage type, two entry conditions and required approvers.
